Cornell v Yale 5/2 ILT SEMI

[ugarte]

Unnecessary roughness on Reeder just before the half. I don't recall if he's played at all this year.

If they don't possess the ball at the end of the half, there would have been a face-off to start the 3rd Q.
Holding the ball ensures possession.

does that include if they back up a shot? i assume so.

Army loses to Colgate in the Patriot League Tourney.  Wow.

Rayhill is not having a good game on D.

Big Hugh is trying to do too much.  Move the ball.

Arrgh! Another weather delay

[MattShaf]

17-12 Big Red with 1 minute to play in the 3rd and we are in a second weather delay.
Yale with the first 2 goals of the 3rd followed by a 5 goal Cornell run.

Weather delay, 1:00 left in the third.

Good guys ahead, 17-12

Let's hope we come out of the rain delay with a little more fire than last time.

Coach is going to the zone defense. When we're in man-to-man, Yale is working hard to get the short stick matchups for a reason.

Hat's off to whoever realized the host team should play in the first game, NOT the second. Would suck to be Princeton Harvard right now.

The reason being that two of our top SSDMs, Box and Bozzi, are not playing. Box has not appeared, and Bozzi had some shifts at the start but then stopped. Neither played against Dartmouth.

Excellent comment. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yeah, the reason I was thinking is that we're getting beat.

Edit: But I want to add, SSDM is a difficult and usually thankless position to play. You only get noticed by couch potatoes (like me) when your man scores.

I'm surprised Yale is not posting a shooter in the center of the zone.

[MattShaf]

We are back, 17-12 end of 3rd quarter.

[mike1960]

How beautiful was that EMO goal?

The best way to beat a zone is usually place 2 in the crease. Pulls in the far side defender. Attack Bow tie/pick  off each other.
